Threats to Ecosystem:In 3-5 years, we might not have anymore lodgepole trees throughout Colorado everything that was killing off the pine beetle is dying,by losing their food source, water, and habitat. things are becoming less natural.pine beetles are part of the circle of life
Importance of Ecosystem: What’s happening is a natural event, think of it as humans. Rick Cables compared the situation to having a human population made up entirely of people in their 70s and 80s, when disease begins to affect large numbers. "Mountain pine beetles are an agent of regeneration," Cables said http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/jan/15/beetle-infestation-get-much-worse/
